Marchesi Antinori is one of Italy’s most historically significant wine dynasties, with roots stretching back to 1385. Headquartered in Florence, the family has overseen 26 generations of winemaking, cementing its place as a leader in Tuscan and Umbrian wine culture.
Antinori’s estates span Chianti Classico (Tignanello, Badia a Passignano), Bolgheri (Guado al Tasso), Montalcino (Pian delle Vigne), and others, as well as significant holdings in Umbria, California, and Chile. The family’s pioneering role in the Super Tuscan movement with Tignanello and Solaia challenged DOC rules and changed Italian wine history, introducing Cabernet Sauvignon and modern oak aging to a Sangiovese-based tradition.
Viticulture follows sustainable practices, with constant site research and vineyard renewal projects. Cellar work balances traditional long fermentations with modern temperature control and French oak maturation. Antinori’s portfolio is vast, from Chianti Classico Riservas to prestigious IGT cuvées, always emphasizing finesse, balance, and a clear sense of place.
